Wow it has been a while since i have blogged, mostly because I have been bogged down by all my methods course work for my teaching credential and subbing . But thankfully I officially finished my last two teaching credential methods courses!! now all I have left to do is my 16 weeks of student teaching, pass my RICA test, and take a US history test and then by October 22nd I will have my teaching credential!!
Too catch you up on the wacky world of Worsham... in April, we attended a few Angel Games, Brian bought an 18 pack so we have been going to that quite a bit. I also took Carson one Wednesday morning to a special toddler class at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long beach, he got to touch and feel all kinds of sea creatures, be in a parade and have a private teacher learning about shapes in the sea, it was a lot of fun.
one of my best friend's Kelly just got engaged, and her fiancee' invited all of her girlfriends to Temecula winery to be their to celebrate after he popped the question,
My childhood dreams came true and I got to go see the Britney Spears concert at he Honda Center with my girlfriends ;) So fun.
Emily turned 2, and her teddy bear picnic was a blast.
WE had a great Easter, Carson dyed Easter eggs with Emily and we had the first Annual "Jesus has Risen Easter Egg Hunt" with all of Carson's little friends. It was so fun. Carson kept taking Emily's eggs and then EMily would find eggs and put them in Carson's basket.
We celebrated Easter at Brian's Aunt Maralyn's house and so the "easter Bunny" hid eggs at Nate and lindsay's (wear we stayed) Carson was much more excited about the egg hunt this year then last.
My friend Nicole got married and Brian and I got to got to that wedding it was a lot of fun, with a lot of dancing :)
I took Carson miniature golfing for the first time, and he loved it for about the first 4-5 holes he was determined to put that ball in the whole, then he was over it and more interested in the holes where the ball went into one whole and came out on another green some where else, and he was VERY confused why the last hole did not give you the ball back.. see the picture of him by the locked door?? he kept asking me, "mommy where ball go?" "mommy where da ball go?" to which I replied, "the castle ate it."
I am so excited to start my student teaching and that I am almost done getting my credential, I actually really enjoyed all my methods courses and learned a lot, that has made me a better substitute teacher, The last few weeks I have subbed everyday carson has been at Grandpa Maurers, and I dont know if my students are getting better, if I am becoming a better teacher, I finally figured out how to start the day strong and strict lay out clear expectations and consequences, manage the classroom, and stay nice and calm through out the day, and not have to be a mean teacher! My goal if for my students (to learn obviously) But I cant wait for the day when I have subbed so much that they can repeat my three rules back to me,...
1. Make wise choices
2. Treat others the way you want to be treated,
3. Listen to the teacher the first time.
Number 1 and 2 I stole from the 252 basics bible curriculum i used as the elementary director at UP. But these were their 3 basic truths they wanted each kids to learn, the 3rd mission of that curriculum is "trust God no matter what" which unfortunately I can not say in a public school. I just have to demonstrate Christ in my actions :)
I am looking forward to my future and where God is taking me, I have learned that I am just hanging on for the ride and that he is in control, I cant believe how quickly my baby Carson is growing up. Each day I just do the best I can with what i have and try to be the best mom I can. :)
